I didn’t know this was built-in since Mountain Lion and up, but it is, is startable from the keyboard and it’s tremendously convenient when presenting: [WayBack]: OS X Mountain Lion: Zoom content on the screen.

We thought one of our Macs was compromised, but it wasn’t: it had too many web browsers open so it was crawling like a snake.
The below terminal commands and EtreCheck [Source: etresoft/EtreCheck: Source code for EtreCheck] helped to find out what was running:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'

Just in case you have this driver installed:
$ kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
com.bresink.driver.BRESINKx86Monitoring (9.0)
[WayBack] Hardware Monitor Help shows how to remove it:
- Ensure you are logged in as user with administrative rights.
- Use the Finder to open the folder Library at the topmost level of your system volume, and inside it, the folder StartupItems. If the driver is still installed, you will see the folder BRESINKx86Monitoring at this location.
- Drag the folder BRESINKx86Monitoring to the Trash. OS X may ask for your administrator password.

Wow: nojhan/liquidprompt: A full-featured & carefully designed adaptive prompt for Bash & Zsh
This is really useful!
via:
Sort of tanslated from the first “via” (note that “mit Alles und Scharf” is hard to translate; it’s somewhere between “everything but the kitchen sink, but done right” and “right on the money”):
Bash Prompt Overkill: https://github.com/nojhan/liquidprompt is a Bash “Prompt doing it all right”-extension, which doesn’t care how much any feature costs as we have cores, gigabytes and SSD.
Liquid Prompt automagically recognises context and enables a plethora of features in the prompt when needed based on that context.
It’s like pixie dust for your prompt.
You can configure everything, but you don’t have to: the out of the box experience is already like pixie dust for your prompt.
It works on OS X too and is part of homebrew:
$ brew install liquidprompt ==> Using the sandbox ==> Downloading https://github.com/nojhan/liquidprompt/archive/v_1.11.tar.gz ==> Downloading from https://codeload.github.com/nojhan/liquidprompt/tar.gz/v_1.11 ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Caveats Add the following lines to your bash or zsh config (e.g. ~/.bash_profile): if [ -f /usr/local/share/liquidprompt ]; then . /usr/local/share/liquidprompt fi If you'd like to reconfigure options, you may do so in ~/.liquidpromptrc. A sample file you may copy and modify has been installed to /usr/local/share/liquidpromptrc-dist Don't modify the PROMPT_COMMAND variable elsewhere in your shell config; that will break things. ==> Summary 🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/liquidprompt/1.11: 7 files, 125.6K, built in 3 seconds [jeroenp:~/Versioned] 10s $

CompuLab 4K Display Emulator (fit-Headless 4K)
The MacMini is a bit dumb as it won’t enable the GPU when there is no display attached. Which means headless operation is cumbersome as display rendering is very slow.
There are a few tricks of which the off-the-shelve HDMI solutions work best.
You can buy them at Amazon:
CompuLab Display Emulator (fit-Headless)
Sources:
Basically the trick to simulate a monitor with a dummy load works for other display connectors as well (most of them work fine with 75 ohm resistors, usually a bit lower or higher works just as well):

I had the same issue as in sleep wake – Macbook Air – battery drains while sleeping (but not when shut down) – Ask Different which suddenly introduced itself in April 2016 after I had been running El Capitan (OS X 10.11) for a while.
The Mac didn’t have PowerNap active as I verified using How Power Nap works on your Mac – Apple Support
At first it looked like an SMC reset worked as explained by Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac – Apple Support and mentioned in Mac Air loses 90% of battery overnight when in … | Apple Support Communities.
The Mac is indeed running Chrome, but I don’t like to turn that off before sleeping.
Executing pmset -g would show hibernatemode 3.
So I opted for the hibernate option as mentioned in the first link:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25
This will take a bit longer to restore the memory from hibernate state, but saves a lot of frustration.

The first method I try for any Apple TV issue is to reset the device (Hold the Play & Menu button simultaneously on the remote for 6 seconds)
Source: [Wayback] Fix Apple TV No Sound Issue – AppleTV2
This usually works for me too and is easier/faster than fiddling with the solutions mentioned at Wayback: Apple TV: HDMI audio stops working – Apple Support (which now has moved to [Wayback] Get help with audio, video, or power on Apple TV – Apple Support).
After releasing Play&Menu buttons, wait for the Apple TV to reboot itself and listen if your remote-buttons will give you audio-feedback from the Apple TV. If that works, then audio on multi-media works fine too.
This is way cheaper than putting additional hardware in the HDMI chain as described in [Wayback] The fix for AppleTV HDMI audio and video woes and HDMI problem solving | The Poor Audiophile
In my setup the [Wayback] Apple TV 3rd generation is hooked up to a [Wayback] Harman Kardon BDS 580 receiver/blue-ray-player.
